Great looking steaks

Cooked a couple tonight on the Weber grill.

Excellent flavor but surprisingly tough. Like, really tough.

Not much for marbling. Gotta figure out a different method. Crockpot, maybe.

Maybe try reverse sear. A little tender lovin in the oven followed by brief caramelizing heat.

ETA: I read somewhere costco "blade tenderizes" their steaks, since you cut those up yourself maybe it wasn't. If not you could also try aging it at home.
 
I've never understood vests. If it's cold enough for a vest, wouldn't your arms be cold too? Wouldn't a jacket or coat make more sense, or is it a layering thing just to keep your core warmer? To be fair, we don't generally get brutal cold down here.

Poosball.
Core temp stays up, so extremities can be less encumbered while still warm. Same principle as wearing heavy insulated tall bib overalls without a jacket while working outside in very cold weather. Head covering usually helps, especially as middle age overtakes.

And becoming folically challenged. My shaved head is to hide the bald spots my Maternal Grandfather blessed me with 🤣. You don’t know how much heat a head of hair keeps in until it’s gone!

You can see my weird bald pattern in this selfie taken by my sidekick (side chick/wife?) 😆

This is the second loin I’ve bought. The first was utterly amazing, darn near prime in quality. I expected more from this one.
